Crowder spent the rest of the interview playing defense, calling Rogan a bully for pressing the issue and having his producer side with him, although Crowder declined to accept when Rogan offered to search for facts in Crowder’s defense.

The debate ended up so heated that Rogan ended up on his Instagram page to apologize for the interview.

“Well, this one went off the rails for a while. First of all, I genuinely like Steven as a person, and although I might not agree with him about everything I think he’s a good man,” Rogan wrote on Instagram. “I take 100% responsibility for it going off the rails, and I’m truly sorry if it upset any of you that listened to it or watched it.”
